Market Report, November 15th, 2016

The 7th edition of the Social Media Monitoring (SMM) Tools and Services report provides a detailed overview of the SMM tools and services market created through elaborated research and profiling of two hundred (200) social media tools and services worldwide, including detailed overview of key product features, product applications, product screenshots, pricing and client information.

Definition of important SMM concepts, key product features, and type of social media tools (e.g., social media/media monitoring tools, social listening platforms, social intelligence tools, social media analytics, social media management tools, social media marketing tools),

Pricing and client information on more than 150 SMM tools and services

Up-to-date information on market trends and M&A activity in the SMM market, and

A guide to selecting and using SMM tools and services including product comparison tables.

The purpose of the report is to enable companies and individuals to make effective decisions about the use of social media monitoring (SMM) tools and services for their purposes, based on their specific needs, objectives, and budget, and help them to take a more strategic approach to selecting and employing SMM Tools and Services for long term benefits and success.

In the last several years, the number and quality of SMM tools available in the market has changed considerably, with the SMM technology industry maturing rapidly through innovation and acquisitions by large technology companies and the emergence of new tools, delivering unique and more sophisticated analytical capabilities and more personalized engagement. This has created a highly complex and diverse landscape of SMM technologies with the top vendors developing features beyond monitoring, listening, or social media management, and converging gradually with other types of platforms such as content management, customer experience or social relationship platforms.

Each SMM tool offer specific set of functionalities and differs in focus, coverage and approach, with some focusing more on engagement, publishing and workflow management, while other offering strong analytics and reporting functions. There is still no single superior SMM tool or service provider that can effectively measure and address all aspects of social media. For that reason, most organizations today still use multiple social media monitoring tools across different functional areas and geographies as they require a slightly different approach and view of the social media space in order to address their specific social analysis and business needs.

As the existing market reports on Social Media Monitoring technologies typically focus on a few, well established tools and services without giving a broad overview of the market and its players, the purpose of this report is to fill that need and give an up-to-date and comprehensive view of the social media monitoring market and product offerings.
